[QUOTE="green 788, post: 713064, member: 3781"] The Bushnell Elite 10x40 will serve you well. The turrets are repeatable, and adjustable with ease. You can get the mil/mil version from [url=http://www.midwayusa.com]Shop Shooting Supplies | Reloading | Gunsmithing | Hunting gear — MidwayUSA[/url] they may be the exclusive retailer of that scope (they say they are anyway)... and its turrets adjust in mils, not MOA. Brunos in Arizona [url]www.brunoshooters.com[/url] will make you a good price on the MOA version of the same scope. You don't have to have a mildot scope to make good hits at long range. I administrate a long range shooting school here in southwest Virginia, and we've trained folks to use regular old duplex reticles to make good hits--all the way out to 1040 yards. The last fellow that won our long range practical rifle match was using a duplex Leupold reticle... I use both mildot and MOA reticles in the training course, to familiarize students with every type of reticle. A fellow who only knows MOA, or who only knows mils, is limited in his ability to use what may come his way in a difficult situation (so to speak)... so we train on all scopes... [i]including a fixed 4 power cheap China made scope--believe it or not![/i] :) The schools who place too much emphasis on specialized equipment train shooters to be entirely dependent on such equipment, and then generally leave 19 out of 20 would-be long range riflemen sitting at home trying to save enough money to "someday" get the "good stuff." Meanwhile... we'll have you shooting with what you have, and make a better rifleman out of you in the process... and when you finally do get the "good stuff," you'll be all the better with it. ;) So the Bushnell 10X Elite will work great... and if you really want a variable, Weaver makes a tactical Grand Slam, or even the standard Grand Slam is a great scope, with easily adjustable, repeatable turrets (albeit under screw on caps). Your rifle sounds like just the ticket for what you're wanting to do... get a good scope on it (that won't break the bank) and a good handload... and put the money you save into some training that'll have you outshooting most folks with very expensive equipment who lack the knowledge to really ([i]really[/i]) hit what they're shooting at "way out yonder... " :) Dan [/QUOTE]
